      @@adrianzaharia8885 space is rarely -272°c on the moon, since it's in full sunlight on the photos, it would oscillate between 125°c and -175°c, also keep in mind that it's total vacuum out there, so temperature exchanges work differently than in a usual atmosphere, therefore the cold wouldn't be such an issue, the biggest issue here would probably be drastic temperature shifts, but the rolls of film were protected by the camera body so that didn't wreck them

Are you serious dude?????? C'mon...even a 5 year old knows that that can't protect anything by the cold. BTW your freezer runs at about -20*C...-30*C the industrial ones. That's a fact.

    Found this after rediscovering my ancient Hasselblad 500C - apparently, the last one of these was made in 1957, so, if nothing else, I have in my possession a fully functioning mechanical artifact from over 60 years ago. It is not the model that went to the Moon - as you mention - but it does have a space connection after all: Walter Schirra took it up with him on his Mercury flight in 1962.

    My whole career basically has been working in science and mission operations for space cameras, mostly on/orbiting Mars. Since I was also a photographer outside of that, thanks to the Moon connection, I always wanted a Hasselblad. After my first holiday bonus at my first space camera job, I went to the local shop and amazingly there was a mint condition 500c with every accessory you could possibly imagine on consignment from its original owner. He was a photojournalist back in the day. It felt like fate so I immediately bought it and it’s been a prized possession for many years now. ❤ Love the amount of detail you went into in this video, down to the film types!

    the films used were estar based, this base on which the emulsion was poured was strong enough to withstand the temperature differences and would therefore not break in the camera while being transported to the next frame. I used this type of film in the 1980's and it was commercially available as Kodak Technical Pan Film. This was a very slow dokument film in 135 casettes for Leica and the alike cameras. but with the correct developer and exposure you could get an extremely fine grain normal contrast negative out of it. You could not tear it it had to be cut.

I don't know what the zone of focus is on a 60mm Zeiss lens at f16 since I'm nowhere near rich enough to purchase one, but on my cheap Nikon lens its about 4 feet to infinity. Anything within that range will be of acceptable focus. But of course, you probably knew that.

    Well the lubricants wouldn't *dissolve* in a vacuum. Some would freeze and some would evaporate. You're looking at zero air pressure and temperature ranges from roughly -300F to +400F. So a light oil would almost certainly evaporate, and a thick grease would probably freeze. It'd be a great reason to invent teflon, but I don't think they were there yet.

    I have watched a lot of documentaries and history shows and other stuff along that line but if you was narrating or was the host of say a history channel special then I would more of those types of shows.. lol

    This has to be the best history lesson about photography I have ever seen. FAM! 😎 I love the commentary between NASA and Hassleblad!!!! Well done.

    I wonder if they used some kind of dry lubricant like teflon (TM) or graphite or something? Great research and video, thanks :-)
